If anyone thinks the illegal-alien invasion will end anytime soon, I have a sturdy bridge over the Rio Grande for sale.
Border agents have handled 838,685 illegal aliens since October 1, the beginning of fiscal 2022, through February. Biden has released 37.9 percent, or 318,700.
If the pace at which agents apprehend or encounter illegals keeps up — 167,737 per month — the total by September 30, fiscal year’s end, will be more than 2 million. And if Biden releases them at the same rate, we’ll have another unsupervised 760,000 illegals running free.
But those mind-numbing data don’t provide an on-the-ground picture of the siege. That comes either from reporters such as Fox News’s Bill Melugin, or from reading official border dispatches.
An example of the latter …
Through just a few days, in the Rio Grande Valley Border Sector alone, agents disrupted 10 illegal-alien smuggling attempts and arrested 140 illegals and two U.S. citizens, U.S. Customs and Border Protection reported [Three Smuggling Interdictions Lead To 36 Arrests, CPB.gov. March 23, 2022].
On March 21, agents at the Javier Vega Jr. Border Patrol Checkpoint in Sarita — a shade more than 100 miles north of border town of McAllen — uncovered 19 Mexican and Central American illegals packed in a refrigerated 50.8-degree trailer carrying produce.
The driver and his son, a passenger, were citizens.
Agents at McAllen stopped a silver Chevy Malibu packed with nine illegals from Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador [Seven Failed Smuggling Attempts Lead to 106 Arrests, CPB.gov, March 22, 2022].
Then they caught five Mexican illegals in a blue Dodge Ram pickup, and stopped a Ford Expedition in Palmview. The driver fled; inside were six Mexicans.
Agents found another six Mexicans inside a home in Alamo, and found a black Chevy Tahoe used to smuggle illegals.
Sometime between March 19 and March 22, agents stopped a trailer packed with 79 illegals, country of origin unreported, also at the Javier Vega Jr. checkpoint.
On March 22, agents uncovered a stash house in Edinburg and bagged six illegals, country of origin unprovided. Then the agents raided a home in Rio Grande City and found 10 Guatemalans.
All the illegals were “processed,” the agency said, which does not mean deported. Under orders from Homeland Security chief Alejandro Mayorkas, the Cuban-Jewish immigrant and visa fraudster, CBP might just release them to disappear.
